Video Tutorials into iTunes?

This may be a simple question, but I'm wondering how can download the video tutorials into iTunes so I can watch them when I'm not hooked up to the internet. Most of my 'down' time is spent in places where I have no net access, and it would be nice to be able to watch these tutorials then.
I'd be grateful if someone could explain how I can do this, or point me to a place than explains this.

If you let iTunes organise your media folders then that is the way it is. An option would be to change the Media Kind to TV Show which would gather them togther in one folder, but in a different part of the library.

  • Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos.  Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

    I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies.  Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

    wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

  • I can't get audio or video files into iTunes from my computer. Please help!

    Using Windows 7: My wife and I have seperate iTune accounts in our respective computer profiles.  In my profile and iTune account, everything works fine.  In my wife's account, she's always being asked to sign into iTunes as an administrator. Also, her account will not allow her to transfer music or video files into iTunes by drag and drop.  If I click on "Add File to Library" or "Add Folder To Library", It will add the file but double it in the process so there are two of everything.  And to make matters worse, when iTunes open in her profile, it changes the color of the Windows theme.  Someone PLEASE help me. Thank you.

    Am I correct in saying that the file is on your computer? Is it in a format that iTunes recognises?
    If so, open iTunes, click on the small icon in the top left of the iTunes window and select Add File to Library. Navigate to the folder where the file is located and select it, click on Open. The song is now in your Library, but don't forget that the song's title, artist etc. will reflect the information within the file. So if the file did not have a song title or artist, it will appear in your iTunes as something like "Track 01", by "Unknown Artist".

  • Putting video files into itunes

    I've tried again and again, but I cannot get my video files into itunes.
    It wont work with my .avi files, my .wmv ones or anything apart from MPEGs.
    If someone knows of some way I can convert my files into a compatible one, or any other options available to me?
    Nick

    iTunes (or Quicktime) doesn't play back avi's by default. There are some workarounds, which may or may not work (I have mixed experiences).
    First of all, install Perian for Quicktime. This allows you to play most video&audio formats which QT doesn't play by default (except windows media & real media).
    From here you have 3 options:
    1. Install Xcode. Then, in terminal do this:
    +SetFile -t "MooV" YourTarget.avi+
    This tells your Mac that it's a movie. You'll have to navigate in terminal to your file though.
    Then just drag & drop into iTunes.
    *2. & 3.* Open your movie in Quicktime Pro and save it as a QuickTime Movie (either referenced or self-contained). There also is an "utility", movie2itunes, which does the referencing automatically & you don't need QT Pro. Again, just drag&drop into iTunes.
    Note:
    - Most of the time this works for me (I'm using movie2itunes). Recently I've gotten some files which don't work in iTunes, but do in QT.
    - There is no such "cheat" for iPods, you'll have to convert.

  • Bringing video file into itunes

  • How do I put video footage into itunes so I can then put it on my ipod?

    Hey guys,
    I got an ipod nano 3rd gen for Xmas, and although I have sort of worked out how to put songs on it, and some photos, I would like to put some footage of my children on there. My video files are all .MVI
    The problem is firstly I think I have to convert them to a certain file?? And then how do I put them into itunes? I am having so much trouble with it all, I just feel like taking the silly thing back to the shops. It works fine, but am having a huge amount of trouble trying to figure everything out.....

    Niel - Thank You!!! It has worked....finally....
    But now that I have converted the clip to sucessfully play via Quicktime, and managed to somehow get it into itunes, when I click and darg it over, it says it cannot be played on my ipod and so I have right clikced and selected Convert t Play on Ipod. Will see how that goes and let you know if it was successful.
    I thought that by converting it with The MPEG Streamclip, it would automatically work.
    Errghhh, I hate all this stuff!

  • Importing a mpeg video file into itunes

    I tried click and drag but that doesn't work. How would I get some mpeg video files to work in iTunes so I can transfer them to my iPod? I also tried "add file to library" that doesn't work either.

    iTunes supports the following video content formats:
    Video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
    QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.
    Video podcasts.
    If your videos are MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, you will have to use a third-party application to convert the videos into a format that iTunes supports. If you search this forum for something like "video convert", you should find a number of suggestions as to a converter.

  • Can't get home videos imported into iTunes?

    iTunes will let me import videos but then they are not there? And ideas on how to help? Thanks

    The music sync is ONE WAY - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. You can transfer itunes purchases only: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    The ipod will sync with ONE computer only. When you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    You should move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old computer, to your new one.
    The ipod touch is not a storage device or backup device. It is intended to mirror the selected content of your computer.

  • Can't import ripped video files into itunes

    I stupidly made a copy of itunes - the entire directory structure - to a new external drive by simply dragging all the directories to tne new drive. this seems to have broken something because now i cannot import ripped vid files from external source and the movies & tv files i bought from iTunes store are also unplayable. Any idea on how to fix this?
    I tried using the original library but that seems broken too. luckily all music files are accessible, mainly because i ripped them from purchased CDs.
    help, please

    took a little time to check - the directory structure looks ok altho the music directory is a little screwy - iTunes Music holds artist names wirh albums below, but there is also a generic "music" directory that has a few artist directories that are duplicates of the abovementioned artist directories; not necessarily in a consistent manner. no rhyme nor reason that i can discern, yet.
    the original problem remains - i get no response when import ripped dvd (m4v format). no response as before i made the copy - no indication that the import is happening and no movies show up on the movie tab in itunes (and no movies in itunes movie directory).
    similarly, downloaded tv progs also don't play in iTunes are are not in a recognized format by Front Row ("format not recognized")
    help, please!

  • Videos won't import into iTunes 7

    I want to put some of my own videos onto my new iPod video, but I can't put any videos into iTunes. I've tried dragging and dropping, "import" and "add file". And nothign ever shows up. How am I suppossed to put video into itunes that I don't buy from the iTunes store? Thanks for the help.

    This also happens with me. I have an Intel Core Duo 17", running iTunes 7.1 with the latest Quicktime, and OS 10.4.4. My movies work great in Quicktime, but won't import into iTunes at all. When I try to drop them on my iPod directly, it tells me that my 5th gen iPod can't display video.
    I brought my iPod into work today, and hooked it up to the G5/dual 1.8 tower here, also running iTunes 7, and quicktime (7.1.3 I think?), OS 10.3.9. I was able to drop the videos directly into iTunes, and they showed up fine. I was also able to then put the video on my iPod.
    As for the video, I converted them to .mp4 files with a 3rd party converter from .mpg files.
    Interested to see what the solution is. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

  • How do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?

    how do I transfer video files shot from my camera (Canon 5DMk2) which is in .MOV format into iTunes ?  My photos and video files are first imported into Aperture then synced with iTunes. However, itunes does not capture the Video files but uploads the phtos from Aperture during sync.
    I tried dragging the video files into iTunes but it still would not be captured into iTunes ?
    Appreciate any help on this. Thanks

    Open them in Quicktime Player 10.1. Then, use Quicktime's Share menu > iTunes.  That will create an iTunes compatible version and automatically load it into your iTunes movie library.

  • I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

    I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

    Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
    What has worked best for me and my family:
    use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
    I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
    for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
    my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
    I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst

  • Error when copying files into iTunes

    Been trying to copy some video files into iTunes. I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive. Haven't had any problems with this until today when I try copying videos into iTunes it pops up with an error saying:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "OneTouch4" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I have had no problems with this before. I am running the latest version of iTunes. Any ideas?

    Hi.
    Tried both suggestions that have been made but the video files will still not copy into iTunes. Interestingly, when I copy podcast files into iTunes it works ok but when I tried the video files again they still get the same error.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • I'm using Windows 8.  I have 2 folders in my videos library - movies and personal videos.  When I try to import a movie into iTunes, it puts it in the Home Video section and if I import a personal video, it puts it into the home video section.  what up?

    Im using Win8.  I originally had all my ripped movies in a movie folder listed in the videos library.  This imported into iTunes movies with no issue.  I later added a second folder t my library - personal videos where i put all my home videos.  I was able to import this into iTunes and it showed up in "Home Movies" - very cool and exactly what I wanted.  Now, if I add a new ripped movie and put it in my movie librairy and try to import it into iTunes, it places it in Home Movies.  And if I put a new personal video, it will also import into iTunes under 'Home Video?.  What is going on here??  Any help would be greatly appreciated - it seems like this is a bug in iTunes 11.

    I thank you for the response.  Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them.  Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is.  A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party.  A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped.  Unbelievable!   The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible.  Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar?  WOW!
    As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to?  I see no Options tab in iTunes.  Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well.  Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
    Thanks again for your help.
